Words Strategize for the World

The expected death did not come; instead, three metallic clanging sounds were heard.

Fang Wei opened his eyes. Han Jiang had already taken several steps back, watching the woods beside the official road warily.

He thought he was going to die, but he was unexpectedly saved. The female voice that followed sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

"Get lost, where are you going? Haha, you want me to ignore it? That's not impossible, just let him go and I won't interfere."

The more Fang Wei listened, the more he felt he had heard the voice somewhere before, but he couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

The woman remained hidden in the woods, never showing herself.

Han Jiang was thinking of returning to the supply camp as soon as he could deal with Fang Wei's matter, but unexpectedly a woman appeared halfway and interfered.

"You're just playing tricks. Come out and try it. Let's see if the soldiers can kill you."

This is a tactical threat; if they come out, the effect won't be as good. Han Jiang's side has superior numbers; they definitely can't win if they come out. The woman also knows the crux of the problem, so she only hears her voice but doesn't see her.

"Haha, why don't you come in and try, sir? I'm all alone, so it's better if I don't come out."

No sooner had the woman finished speaking than a commander who had come with Han Jiang couldn't help but say, "You lowly wench, come out and try! I'll give you a good time."

"Hei Zi is right, but if this lowly maid is big and burly, with broad shoulders and a thick waist, then she'll be unsightly."

The other two commanders were about to join in the mockery when a flash of white light appeared in the woods, followed by Hei Zi's scream as he fell off his horse.

"This is a little lesson for you, so you won't lose control of your mouths."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hei Zi got up from the ground. A throwing knife was stuck in his left shoulder, and blood was gushing from the wound.

Han Jiang was furious to see another of his men injured. Had this trip gone wrong? Two men were injured before the mission was even finished.

Han Jiang pondered for a moment, then ignored the woman in the shadows and directly drew his sword to slash at Fang Wei.

As soon as Han Jiang made a move, Fang Wei knew he was in trouble.

However, the woman in the shadows did not relax. When Han Jiang made his move, three beams of white light attacked him again.

The gleaming throwing knives attacked Han Jiang's upper, middle, and lower sections in a triangular formation.

When the flying knife came, Han Jiang could only parry or dodge.

Taking advantage of Han Jiang's parrying and dodging, the woman threw three more throwing knives.

As Fang Wei lay on the ground, his strength gradually returned, but due to the significant blood loss, he felt dizzy and lightheaded.

Upon hearing the "clinking" sound, Fang Wei barely managed to stand up. Taking advantage of Han Jiang being blocked by the flying knife, he quickly wrote the character "dragon" in seal script, preparing to help the woman defeat Han Jiang.

Seeing Fang Wei get up, Han Jiang knew things were going badly. Although it would be difficult for Fang Wei to hurt him, the presence of a woman of unknown strength lurking in the shadows made things different.

Faced with Fang Wei and the woman's attack, Han Jiang was not going to delay any longer.

"Why aren't you making a move? How long are you planning to wait? Do you want to wait until I've killed them all before you come over?"

Two of the five commanders were injured, leaving three. To deal with Fang Wei and the woman, Han Jiang only needed one more person to assist him, let alone the fact that all three were attacking together.

The situation has become critical again.

Fang Wei, who was writing, was covered in wounds and swaying precariously. The aftereffects of significant blood loss made writing somewhat difficult for him.

He struggled to support his body and barely managed to write the character for "dragon." A golden dragon took shape and charged towards the Han River.

Han Jiang, who had just dodged the flying knife attack, was immediately attacked by Jinlong.

Seeing the golden dragon charging towards him, Han Jiang was shocked and immediately tried to dodge. Unfortunately, the golden dragon could track and attack. With nowhere to hide, Han Jiang had no choice but to slash at the golden dragon with his sword.

"Bang!"

As the golden light spread, Han Jiang was repeatedly pushed back by the impact of the golden dragon.

Just as Han Jiang was struggling to steady himself, he caught a glimpse of three white lights coming from the corner of his eye. Two throwing knives were aimed at his throat, one at his forehead, and the other at his chest.

For a moment, Han Jiang was filled with dread.

The woman's timing was impeccable; her perfectly timed attack left Han Jiang with no way to dodge.

At this moment, Han Jiang had just managed to steady himself to prevent further retreat. He had exhausted his old strength and had not yet generated new one.

Three throwing knives were aimed straight at vital points. If Han Jiang couldn't dodge them, he would die from their attack.

Facing three flying knives, in a life-or-death crisis, Han Jiang narrowly dodged them with a skillful iron bridge maneuver.

Seeing Han Jiang perform the Iron Bridge move, the woman threw another flying knife straight at his face.

Having dodged three flying knives, how could Han Jiang possibly dodge a flying knife coming straight at him?

"what……"

At the critical moment, Han Jiang barely avoided a fatal blow to his face, but was stabbed in the eye.

He pulled the throwing knife out forcefully, and a bloody eyeball was hanging from it.

"Ah, I want you all dead. Go and kill them!"

He had never been so badly injured before; the intense pain ignited a fierce determination within him.

With a dagger that had been pierced by an eyeball, Han Jiang lunged forward, thrusting his sword straight at Fang Wei's chest with fierce force.

Fang Wei was physically exhausted and mentally foggy, so he couldn't dodge the sword at all.

The longsword whistled through the air and arrived at Fang Wei's chest in an instant. If it had advanced even a fraction further, Fang Wei would have died by its blade.

Just as the sword was about to pierce Fang Wei, a gleaming white throwing knife shot straight at Han Jiang. If Han Jiang continued to stab Fang Wei, he would die along with Fang Wei.

Han Jiang was ruthless and ambitious, and certainly wouldn't want to die together with Fang Wei. In the end, Han Jiang dodged the flying knife, and Fang Wei was saved.

After forcing Han Jiang to retreat, several commanders rushed forward and came to Fang Wei's side, raising their knives to strike.

Even with three people attacking at the same time, the woman was unable to throw three throwing knives at them all in an instant.

Just then, Fang Wei heard a delicate shout, followed by two clanging sounds, as two flying knives shot towards the commander, one after the other, but both were deflected.

After forcing back the two leaders, only one remained to launch a direct attack.

Fang Wei lay on the ground, and in his line of sight, a woman dressed in white was stabbing at the last commander with a sword.

Who is she? She looks so familiar.

Faced with a life-or-death crisis, Fang Wei wasn't thinking about his own death, but rather who would save him.

The woman's martial arts skills should be around the third level of a general. She could force back the last commander, but it wouldn't be enough to protect Fang Wei's safety.

"You've finally shown yourself. I'm going to kill you all."

Han Jiang touched his eye socket, which was now bloodshot and had no eyeballs, and said fiercely.

Upon hearing Han Jiang's words, the three commanders who had been forced to retreat once again raised their swords and attacked Fang Wei and his companion.

The strength of the commanders was about the same as that of the woman. She might have a chance against one commander, but she would be powerless against three at the same time.

The three commanders fought with wide, sweeping attacks and simple moves, yet they managed to overwhelm the woman, nearly injuring her several times.

With the combined efforts of the three commanders, the woman quickly sustained numerous injuries, one or two of which were so deep that the bone was visible.

It has truly come to an end. Both of them are in extremely poor condition and have suffered serious injuries.

At this point, with three commanders and one captain, Fang Wei and the woman were unlikely to meet a bad end no matter what.
